Description
This is the fascinating story of the discovery and subsequent unearthing of a Second World War Hurricane fighter aircraft. The book has two main parts. The first covers the author's introduction as a young schoolboy to a small piece of wreckage in the Essex coastal marshes. His early inquisitiveness leads to identification of the aircraft type and several years later to a recovery operation which retrieves the substantial remains from their muddy resting places. The aircraft is finally put on display at the RAF Museum, Hendon. The second part of the book attempts to recreate the sequence of events during the raid which led to the aircraft's loss. It draws together as much of the story as possible using eye witness accounts from the ground and in the air, together with surviving documentary evidence. Both sections are fully illustrated using a wide range of contemporary photographic material. This book will appeal not only to aviation enthusiasts, but also to all who have an interest in our past.
